That moment is widely known as the spring equinox, but some people call it the March equinox or the vernal equinox. Here are some other interesting facts about the first day of spring. thought is was called March Madness. lol 73 thursday, rain all week. cant win...

Freedomflyer 1,885 Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Very unfortunate. We have avalanches in our area as well. The sad thing is, The people that are caught in them are generally someplace they shouldn't be. We have skiers that get caught in them all the time because they are out of bounds from the regulated ski areas. There are crews that go up each day with newly accumulated snow and shoot cannons to trigger the avalanches that could happen. The guys that go out on snowmobile's and get caught or killed go back into the mountains and are climbing areas that they should not be climbing and set them off. We know one guy that died about fifteen years ago, He and his buddies were way back into areas that were known for avalanches and they went anyway and we're climbing and riding steep north facing slopes.That's asking for it in my opinion. There are literally thousands of suare miles here where they would not run into anything that would be considered dangerous. I know guys right now that go out virtually every weekend and they are just flirting with disaster. I agree it is very sad when one loses their life And I am certainly not Downplaying the situation in colorado. Our area has avalanches frequently, If I rode frequently I would certainly choose To avoid those types of areas.

Freedomflyer 1,885 Posted March 21, 2023 I've driven in thousands of miles of horrible conditions. I can't imagine driving snow plows and clearing roads for people. Hats off to those folks They don't have snowballs they have another kind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
